You can also replace the existing device driver with libusb-win32 device driver if desired. This is the preferred way to use libusb-win32. When you use the Inf-Wizard GUI to replace a device with inbox driver (like HID or USB Mass Storage Device), you may need to repeat the process if you plug in a same device but with different serial number. Operating system Ver.4.0.3 Windows 7 32bit/64bit Windows 8.1 32bit/64bit Windows 10 32bit/64bit Required components.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Other hardware. Select Update Driver. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions. Reinstall the device driver. In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager. Right-click (or press and hold) the name of the device, and select Uninstall.
Common serial port names are /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc. Thenaround the year 2000 came the USB bus with names like /dev/ttyUSB0 and/dev/ttyACM1 (for the ACM modem on the USB bus). Multiport serialcard used somewhat differnt names (depending on the brand) such as/dev/ttyE5.
Since DOS provided for 4 serial ports on the old ISA bus:COM1-COM4, or ttyS0-ttyS3 in Linux, most serial ports on the newer PCIbus used higher numbers such as ttyS4 or ttyS14 (prior to kernel2.6.13). But since most PCs only came with one or two serial ports,ttyS0 and possibly ttyS1 (for the second port) the PCI bus can now usettyS2 (kernel 2.6.15 on). All this permits one to have both ISAserial ports and PCI serial ports on the same PC with no nameconflicts. 0-1 (or 0-3) are reserved for the old ISA bus (or thenewer LPC bus) and 2-upward (or 4-upward or 14-upward) are used forPCI, where older schemes are shown in parentheses . It's not requiredto be this way but it often is.
If you're using udev (which puts only the device you have on yourcomputer into the /dev directory at boottime) then there's an easy wayto change the device names by editing files in /etc/udev/. Forexample, to change the name of what the kernel detects as ttyS3 towhat you want to name it: ttyS14, add a line similar to this to/etc/udev/udev.rules
BUS'pci' KERNEL'ttyS3',NAME='ttyS14'
On-board serial ports on motherboards which have both PCI and ISAslots are likely to still be ISA ports. Even for all-PCI-slotmotherboards, the serial ports are often not PCI. Instead, they areeither ISA, on an internal ISA bus or on a LPC bus which is intendedfor slow legacy I/O devices: serial/parallel ports and floppy drives.
Devices in Linux have major and minor numbers. The serial portttySx (x=0,1,2, etc.) is major number 4. You can see this (and theminor numbers too) by typing: 'ls -l ttyS*' in the /dev directory. Tofind the device names for various devices, see the 'devices' file inthe kernel documentation.
There formerly was a 'cua' name for each serial port and it behavedjust a little differently. For example, ttyS2 would correspond tocua2. It was mainly used for modems. The cua major number was 5 andminor numbers started at 64. You may still have the cua devices inyour /dev directory but they are now deprecated. For details seeModem-HOWTO, section: cua Device Obsolete.
For creating the old devices in the device directory see:
Dos/Windows use the COM name while the messages from the serial driveruse ttyS00, ttyS01, etc. Older serial drivers (2001 ?) used justtty00, tty01, etc.
The tables below shows some examples of serial device names. TheIO addresses are the default addresses for the old ISA bus (not forthe newer PCI and USB buses).
For more info see the usb subdirectory in the kernel documentationdirectory for files: usb-serial, acm, etc.
On some installations, two extra devices will be created,/dev/modem for your modem and /dev/mouse for amouse. Both of these are symbolic links to the appropriatedevice in /dev.
Historical note: Formerly (in the 1990s) the use of/dev/modem (as a link to the modem's serial port) wasdiscouraged since lock files might not realize that it was really say/dev/ttyS2. The newer lock file system doesn't fall intothis trap so it's now OK to use such links.
Inspect the connectors
Inspecting the connectors may give some clues but is often notdefinitive. The serial connectors on the back side of a PC areusually DB connectors with male pins. 9-pin is the most common butsome are 25-pin (especially older PCs like 486s). There may be one9-pin (perhaps ttyS0 ??) and one 25-pin (perhaps ttyS1 ??). For two9-pin ones the top one might be ttyS0.
If you only have one serial port connector on the back of your PC,this may be easy. If you also have an internal modem, a program likewvdial may be able to tell you what port it's on (unless it's a PnPthat hasn't been enabled yet). A report from setserial (atboot-time or run by you from the command line) should help youidentify the non-modem ports. Drivers shopbot tools.
If you have two serial ports it may be more difficult. You could haveonly one serial connector but actually have 2 ports, one of whichisn't used (but it's still there electronically). First check manuals(if any) for your computer. Look at the connectors for meaningfullabels. You might even want to take off the PC's cover and see ifthere are any meaningful labels on the card where the internal ribbonserial cables plug in. Labels (if any) are likely to say something like'serial 1', 'serial 2' or A, B. Which com port it actually is willdepend on jumper or PnP settings (sometimes shown in a BIOS setupmenu). But 1 or A are more likely to be ttyS0 with 2 or B ttyS1.
Send bytes to the port
Labels are not apt to be definitive so here's another method. Ifthe serial ports have been configured correctly per setserial, thenyou may send some bytes out a port and try to detect which connector(if any) they are coming out of. One way to send such a signal is tocopy a long text file to the port using a command like: cpmy_file_name /dev/ttyS1. A voltmeter connected to the DTR pin (seeSerial-HOWTO for Pinout) will display a positive voltage as soon asyou give the copy command.
The transmit pin should go from several volts negative to a voltagefluctuating around zero after you start sending the bytes. If it doesn't(but the DTR went positive) then you've got the right port but it'sblocked from sending. This may be due to a wrong IRQ, -clocal beingset, etc. The command 'stty -F /dev/ttyS1 -a' should showclocal (and not -clocal). If not, change it to clocal.
Another test is to jumper the transmit and receive pins (pins 2 and 3of either the 25-pin or 9-pin connector) of a test serial port. Thensend something to each port (from the PCs keyboard) and see if it getssent back. If it does it's likely the port with the jumper on it.Then remove the jumper and verify that nothing gets sent back. Notethat if 'echo' is set (per stty) then a jumper creates an infiniteloop. Bytes that pass thru the jumper go into the port and come rightback out of the other pin back to the jumper. Then they go back inand out again and again. Whatever you send to the port repeats itselfforever (until you interrupt it by removing the jumper, etc.). Thismay be a good way to test it as the repeating test messages halt whenthe jumper is removed.
As a jumper you could use a mini (or micro) jumper cable (sold in someelectronic parts stores) with mini alligator clips. A small scrap ofpaper may be used to prevent the mini clips from making electricalcontact where it shouldn't. Metal paper clips can sometimes be bentto use as jumpers. Whatever you use as a jumper take care not to bendor excessively scratch the pins. To receive something from a port,you can go to a virtual terminal (for example Alt-F2 and login) andtype something like 'cp /dev/ttyS2 /dev/tty'. Then at another virtualterminal you may send something to ttyS2 (or whatever) by 'echotest_message > /dev/ttyS2'. Then go back to the receive virtualterminal and look for the test_message. See Serial Electrical Test Equipment for more info.
Connect a device to the connector
Another way to try to identify a serial port is to connect somephysical serial device to it and see if it works. But a problem hereis that it might not work because it's not configured right. A serialmouse might get detected at boot-time if connected.
You may put a device, such as a serial mouse (use 1200 baud), on a portand then use minicom or picocom to communicate with that port. Thenby clicking on the mouse, or otherwise sending characters with thedevice, see if they get displayed. It not you may have told picocomthe wrong port (such as ttyS0 instead of ttyS1) so try again.
Missing connectors
If the software shows that you have more serial ports than youhave connectors for (including an internal modem which counts as aserial port) then you may have a serial port that has no connector.Some motherboards come with a serial port with no cable or externalserial DB connector. Someone may build a PC from this and decide notto use this serial port. There may be a 'serial' connector and labelon the motherboard but no ribbon cable connects to its pins. To usethis port you must get a ribbon cable and connector. I've seendifferent wiring arrangements for such ribbon cables so beware.
If you don't use devfs (which automatically creates such devices) anddon't have a device 'file' that you need, you will have to create it.Use the mknod command or with the MAKEDEV shell script.Example, suppose you needed to create ttyS0:
ttyS0 you would just type:If the above command doesn't work (and you are the root user), lookfor the MAKEDEV script in the /dev directory and run it.
This handles the devices creation and should set the correct permissions.For making multiport devices see Making multiport devices in the /dev directory.

NextPreviousContentsModern Di2 is basically a couple of controllers and servo motors that communicate with each other using the EW-SD50 wires. Shimano lets end-users configure their own Di2 systems using their e-tube project software. This page explains how to connect your bike to your computer.
Requirements - Road/MTB/GRX/Urban vs E-Bike
Connecting a Di2 bike to a Windows computer is done via the charging / interface port on the Junction A.
Modern road bikes, mountain bikes and gravel bikes will all have this junction and the required interface / charge port. Some urban bikes will too.
However, STEPS E-bikes or E-MTBs generally use a display without this port. Also, most E-bikes use larger, external batteries and they do not come with the SM-BCR2 charger. If your bikes is one of these I'm afraid you're out of luck - you can only connect your bike to a Windos computer using the SM-PCE1/SM-PCE02 diagnostics device.
Older road bikes with external batteries and the SM-EW67A junction can only be connected using the SM-PCE1/SM-PCE02 diagnostics device.
Locate the charging / interace port
You probably know where the charging port is - but just in case you don't, have a look at this image:
Make sure you have either the SM-PCE1/SM-PCE02 diagnostics device or the SM-BCR2 charger. Also, download an up to date version of the E-Tube Project software.
Connect using e-Tube Project
Plug your charger into the junction box and connect the other end to your computer – the order doesn’t really matter, but I tend to plug the connector into the bike first. Start the e-Tube Project software. Then just click the 'Next' button.
If you haven't already, the software will tell you to connect your SM-PCE1/02 or SM-BCR2.
It’ll then tell you that charging has stopped because you’ve connected the bike to the computer and started the software.
Also, it will tell you to use the disconnect button when you're done and then start unit recognition.
When the connection has been made successfully you will be show the Customize tab. This is where you can set up or tweak each component.
Cannot connect using the SM-BCR2? Need to update it?
When Shimano released E-Tube Project 4 they also introduced a lot of bugs. One of those actually prevents you from connecting to your bike using the SM-BCR2.
E-Tube Project displays a message, but won't actually update the SM-BCR2:
SM-BCR2 recognition. The process is interrupted because the version of SM-BCR2's firmware is old. Connect to the Internet and download the latest version of the firmware.
Now. the workaround is relatively simple, if not a bit frustrating.
You need to download E-Tube Project 3.4.5 and update the SM-BCR2 that way. After that it's safe to use E-Tube Project 4.
E-Tube Project 3.4.5 can be found on the Shimano E-Tube Project site, or through this direct download link.
View installed components
Sometimes it is useful to see the list of installed components. When troubleshooting unresponsive components for example. By checking the list of installed and connected components you can figure out what part of the Di2 'circuit' is broken. Almost all components are listed on the Update tab.
If a component isn't listed here that means that it either isn't connected or it doesn't have any firmware that can be updated. Junction B (SM-JC41 / SM-JC40) and the external battery won't show up here for example.
Done? Use the disconnect button
When you're done please use the disconnect button as seen at the top left of the window. If you do not, the bike may not respond or may end up draining the system battery until you reconnect it. It isn't hard, but it is something to keep in mind.
